CICOA Aging & In-Home Solutions announced a mass layoff affecting approximately 90 non-union employees. The Indianapolis-based non-profit cited recent changes by the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA). FSSA decided not to continue CICOA as a case management provider. This decision resulted in a significant loss of government funding for the organization. The job losses are expected to be permanent, with layoffs finalized by July 31, 2026.

Berkley voters overwhelmingly rejected a Proposition 2 1/2 override. The measure failed by a nearly five-to-one margin. This outcome triggers position eliminations across multiple town departments.

The way everything was announced before the whole thing started made it sound like people would be getting cut nonstop for months. That so far hasn't been the case. I’m definitely not complaining, I’m just surprised and wondering if something changed behind the scenes.

Topgolf has announced layoffs affecting an unknown number of workers. The impact on Louisiana locations remains unclear. Reports suggest hundreds of employees were dismissed nationwide. This follows the company's acquisition by private equity firm Leonard Green. Departments like sales and operations were affected.

Idk if can be anyone or it’s a specific department or is it random?

Fidelity pushed the non-tech to tech roles during the pandemic. Then finally someone realized it’s better to pay more for people who know what they’re doing.

Next cut will be managers who aren’t qualified and have been in their roles too long. Weak managers cost the firm too much, it’s not just one expense, but there’s a serious ripple effect.

Culture comes from the top down and when the top are filled with people that only have one brain cell, the rest of the company takes a hit.

Anything on the horizon ? I presume after March that we are clear until October ?

Call me lazy if you want, but I'm not the one who reaches for layoffs every time expenses need to come down. There are a hundred ways to save money that don't involve cutting people. They just don't want to do the work to find them. I'm just returning the favor.

We know cuts are coming, but we don’t know when or any real details beyond that. So now we get to sit around stressing and worrying for who knows how long. I’m sure that’s going to do wonders for everyone’s mental and physical health. I really hate what this place has become and the joke we have for leadership.

Who makes the list? Is it based on performance, salary, tenure, or luck? Which departments are getting hit hardest? Are newer employees safer or more at risk? What's the real business reason behind this? They won't tell us anything, so we're all just guessing and panicking.

10% this year company wide. 5% in June and 5% in October to stay below the warn notice. Next year gets even better at 15%. Have fun everybody!

Is this true?

Sacramento City Unified School District’s Board of Education voted to finalize 503 layoffs. The action addresses a $127 million financial gap. Many affected workers are classified, such as custodians and food service staff. Even with these cuts, the district faces potential state receivership to avoid insolvency. State officials warn that action is needed soon to prevent 5,000 employees from going unpaid.

May bloodbath is around the corner

It really doesn't matter when the next round is going to happen. How many times have we already experienced layoffs being dropped on us without any communication or warning that they might happen? Leadership has proven to us many times over the past couple of years that they couldn't care less about their employees, and they've been treating us accordingly - as the first line of any cuts they might need at any given moment.

People keep saying the cuts are done or will end soon. I've been here long enough to know they won't. This is just how we operate now.

People are talking about cuts sometime later this month, does anybody here know more about it?

Now that Maverick has launched and it's start of first quarter, I heard from my director that ISG and CSG is supposed to get heavy cuts.

Incredible. Verizon cut office cleaning and garbage pickup to once a month. Yet paying half these upper mgrs over $200,000 plus a year.

Remember seeing one VP sending award emails monthly. Not bad. Half a mil to go rah rah.

Despite everything they say, I can't take it for granted that it's done.

Milestone Technologies plans to lay off 51 employees. These layoffs will occur at its Henrico County facility. The company filed a WARN Act letter on April 29. Layoffs are due to the end of a client contract. Most affected workers are data center logistics associates.

Mid-week off payroll so they don't have to pay us for the holiday? Are they really that petty.

Any IT people here who can run a quick compare on number of people in the email directory before and after the cuts? I see number of posts claiming different numbers, execs are silent, instead of spreading rumors maybe we can try to figure out the real number. No, you may argue that the number is internal, but since you can legitimately buy (ZoomInfo, SalesGenie, RocketReach, Lusha, etc.) the entire email roster of pretty much any large US company this argument would not stand ground.

Early Jan stock was over $96. Down almost $20. One trick pony Charlie’s strategy of doing nothing but cutting run its course and now catching up to us

Earnings were pretty good, will the summer cuts be cancelled?

Friend works here and strongly believes there will be a layoff in the near future. I can't validate the voracity of the claim, but they seemed very certain of it.

Looking at the recent layoff announcements, i’ve a very bad feelimg that synopsys will announce more layoffs during this quarter results news , :(

I saw tons of writing on the wall the past two weeks that made me think I'm going, but the post from someone saying they made the whole thing up has me second guessing myself now.

If you're impacted, please let us know. And if you're trolling, this is people's livelihood. Please, not today...

The Ottawa Hospital is eliminating approximately 400 positions. These cuts primarily impact nursing staff. The hospital faces significant financial difficulties. Non-unionized employees have legal rights concerning severance pay. Severance entitlements are based on individual situations and common law standards.

It’s likely a small percentage being impacted. There’ll be a lot of rumors and hearsay on here.
Hopefully it’s just been a lot of bad rumors.

Hearing that there is another round of layoffs happening today?

Anyone know anything?
